Identification of contaminating fungal DNA sequences in zymolyase

When different preparations of Zymolyase were included in the pretreatment protocol of a panfungal PCR assay using a primer system for the 18S rRNA gene, an amplification product occurred in negative controls. The amplified fragment showed 100.0% sequence identity to the Saccharomyces sensu stricto...

Description
Summary:When different preparations of Zymolyase were included in the pretreatment protocol of a panfungal PCR assay using a primer system for the 18S rRNA gene, an amplification product occurred in negative controls. The amplified fragment showed 100.0% sequence identity to the Saccharomyces sensu stricto complex andKluyveromyces lodderae. Lyticase, lysing enzymes, and proteinase K appeared to be free from fungal DNA.
